Nothing. Haven’t logged on since subs went dark.

A password manager is an absolute must, in my opinion! I use Bitwarden and love it.

Personal: Signal mostly, for personal chats I do also have Telegram and WhatsApp. I am starting to use Matrix for community chats as I just discovered it.

Work: Microsoft Teams.

I love OpenRGB. It’s such a fast and lightweight alternative to Corsair iCUE, which is needlessly heavy, clunky, and resource-intensive just to tell your lights what color to be.

1 year of salary extra would be unbelievably life-changing. Like…every single stress in life would be eliminated. Shoot, even $10k extra would be HUGELY beneficial.

Been thinking about starting to drive Door dash or another side gig to supplement income.

I’ll give a search on Duck Duck Go, and if I can’t find what I need then I’ll use Google.

But at this point I’m using Google Bard and ChatGPT more and more, at least at work.

Oh, absolutely! I did a lot of consuming on Reddit, and only participated in a couple specific communities.

Here, I feel far more inclined to actively participate.

Overall it’s pretty good! With more development on Jerboa and better backend performance and an influx of people, I think it’ll be fantastic. I’m pretty pleased thus far!

Ugh, that kind of makes me want to vomit. What a shame.

So I found in another post…

If you press and hold on the vote count of the comment in your inbox, it opens a pop-up where you can click the link icon to go to the context among other actions.

This is a great point!

The CEO just tripled down and said they are not changing their intended API pricing regardless of how many subs and users go dark.

Even if they did, I think a lot of redditors have been fed up with some things with Reddit (both the company and the first-party app) for a while.

Of course, there will be people who just don’t care and will continue to go about their redditing as usual, and those who will go back. A fair number of my close friends don’t care at all as they use the first-party app, have no complaints, don’t moderate any subreddits, and don’t follow the Internet news.

I would love to see my primary communities move over to federated social platforms. It reminds me of the Web1.0 and earlier Web2.0 days.

That’s the boat I’m in, so to speak! If you know of any good sysadmin or IT related communities out here, I’d very much so appreciate some recommendations!

I feel that’s a lot of us. I do have hobbies and interests such as mechanical keyboards, various games, technology, etc. that Is like to find communities for, but I also used Reddit heavily for work-related research (I’m an IT systems administrator) and there were some fantastic technical communities on Reddit. Hoping to see those spring up here as well.

Also, this is my first comment reply, and unless I’m missing something, it’s wildly inconvenient in the Jerboa app to respond to comments since you can’t just tap the reply in your inbox to go to the response to your comment. Hopefully that gets fixed/added!

That’s precisely how I ended up here as well.

Also, thanks for commenting in a way that encourages further discussion! I think that matches the spirit of OP well.

I am hoping to see more communities spring up here over the next while, but so worry a bit about fragmentation of communities.

What sorts of communities are you participating in or looking for here?

I don’t fear for LLMs or AIs taking my job. Just additional tools to learn! Our small team (I’m an IT systems administrator blended with DevOps a little bit) has begun adopting GPT4 and other tools to assist us in being more efficient.

I have little preference. ! and @ are definitely faster, but having been a heavy Reddit user for more than a decade, the /c/ and /u/ signifiers are definitely closer to my pre-existing habits.

Yes, this is my first dip in.

Thus far it seems promising and near, but with a huge downfall of slow adoption/scale to where many instances are hosted in either un-scalable or unstable environments so some instances go down easily.

Apart from that, though, it’s very reminiscent of Web1.0 and early Web2.0 and I like that a lot.
